Why do you think that apple would like to have done the same to OSX? Desktop OSen should be powerful and flexible. Having an OS that compares unfavourably to Windows Starter Edition would not win them many customers. (otoh if they do lock down the os on their fabled tablet thing I would be unsurprised.) 2. Is it not possible in Iphone os 3 to inline the mail app so you can send an email without quitting the app? I'm not an iPhone dev but I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere. 1.
